Penny Wednesday – Last Edition 1/1/2019

Posted on January 2, 2019January 10, 2023 by pcadmin

OK, I admit it. Penny Wednesdays is a joke. Didn’t used to be. Five years ago, at Penny Candi’s inception, Penny Wednesdays served a vital purpose by listing the highest rated, physical books on Amazon selling for exactly 1¢. Sure, you’d still have to pay for shipping, but never more than $3.99. And some weeks, if you dug deep, you’d get lucky and find penny books shipping for free!

No more. Those days are gone forever. All penny books on Amazon are now held hostage. One conglomerate still lists them, but with shipping fixed at $9.00 — hardly a bargain. Old-school readers in love with paper and binding would fare better at the library or a local used book store.

As for Penny Candi, we’ve decided to face facts. This week’s Penny Wednesday will be the last. A new feature will replace it — once we figure one out. Have an idea for us? We’d love to hear it. Leave a comment below or visit the Contact page and drop us a line.

Until then, here is the last 1¢ list. No true penny prices, but total amount is less than $9.00. Shipping is noted where applicable and each linked page is to the re-seller offering the listed price. Happy bargaining!
